Listen to poem:

Sojourn of the Night Train

Sojourn of the Night Train
David J Walker

It was the night train
Sounding its warning

Pulling the evening 
On a sojourn west

The night train commands
The stars and the shadow
Of the moon

Where fearful plagiarists 
Erase all traces of 
Expectations 

And fall asleep in the heap
Of lower quarters

The night train is coming
And will not fail to follow

Its track beyond the horizon
Of the restless ocean
